A month in OpenStack Diablo: the diablo-1 milestone

Back at the OpenStack Design Summit in Santa Clara, we decided to switch from a 3-month cycle to a 6-month coordinated release cycle, with more frequent milestones delivery in the middle.

Lately we have been busy adapting the release processes to match the delivery of the first milestones. Swift 1.4.0 was released last Tuesday, and today sees the release of the diablo-1 milestone for Nova and Glance.

What should you expect from diablo-1, just 4 weeks after the design summit ? In this short timeframe lots of features have been worked on, and the developers managed to land quite a few of them in time for diablo-1.
